+
+The inline values request is sent from the client to the server to compute inline values for a given text document that may be rendered in the editor at the end of lines.

+* property name (optional): `textDocument.inlineValues`
+* property type: `InlineValuesClientCapabilities` defined as follows:

### Implementation Considerations
Language servers usually run in a separate process and client communicate with them in an asynchronous fashion. Additionally clients usually allow users to interact with the source code even if request results are pending. We recommend the following implementation pattern to avoid that clients apply outdated response results:
